The NRA is a gun rights organization the way the Ku Klux Klan is a speech rights organization.

This is crucial. The entire point of nonviolent resistance is to appeal to the conscience of your enemy/oppressor

As someone who is and has been a caregiver for very ill relatives: It may seem like hospitals are the best place, but depending on what they're ill with, and how much experience the hospital does or does not have, that may not be the case. Hospitals are full of good people doing their best, but they

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

I've been saying this as well. I hate that it's come to this. But then, few people would choose to find themselves in this situation.

Heaviest of TWs but seriously, what's it gonna take, people...

If you're in central Texas & you have room to house a shelter dog in a spare room Friday - Mon/Tues, area shelters would love your help getting dogs out of outdoor kennels and into homes for a brief break. You don't have to do a lot with them, just let them decompress while we wait out the weather.

Legitimately great movie. Very, very '90s... in a good way! My lame ass friends and I used to quote this one endlessly.

What's your "I recommend to everyone" movie? I have more than one, but...

Jake Lang, pardoned J6 traitor, fond of sieg heiling in front of government buildings, had to have his ass saved by a black man today. Jake was also drenched in water and piss in the freezing temps. Not gonna lie, seeing the fear on his face made my day.

The sad fact is that Hanlon's Razor no longer applies to our government. Yes, they're dumb, but they're also evil.

@kenwhite.bsky.social What's your favorite RPG? What was your first box set? My fave: Tunnels & Trolls. 5th edition, but I mix in stuff from others. Warts and all (and boy, is it warty). Neck and neck with Golden Heroes, a superhero RPG from 1984. First box was Boot Hill 2e. Christmas present.

Apologies in advance. Rainer Landfermann is my favorite "extreme" metal vocalist, but he is definitely an acquired taste. I played this for my wife, and she said, "It sounds like someone is stabbing him." rainerlandfermann.bandcamp.com/album/mehr-l...

Minneapolis groups call for ‘general strike’. "...several local unions—including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, and St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28—have lent their support to the strike." www.commondreams.org/news/minneap...

I'm actually kind of wondering whether this Greenland bluster isn't in part an attempt to draw Europe's attention (and possibly resources) away from Ukraine.

Unreasonably happy to have found these. I loved this corny ass syndicated show.

Deciding how hard I wanna bid on something I don't need but really, really want. One funny thing about having a niche collecting obsession is that you almost always know who you're bidding against, and have a good idea of their limits. I think this is a game of chicken I can win.

The effective weaponization of "civility" and "decorum" by the right. They demand that Dems play nice, even as they act in a lawless and utterly uncivilized manner. Truth, fairness, and decency only exist for the right as a trap for opponents. You can't play nice when your opponent is cheating.

Breaking news: Claudette Colvin, a civil rights pioneer who refused to give up her seat on a segregated city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks, died at 86.

@patrickzircher.bsky.social Have you ever seen Hickey and Boggs? 1972 neo-noir starring Bill Cosby (I know...) and Robert Culp. Though totally very different from I Spy, the pair's chemistry is still amazing. Script written by Walter Hill. Directed by Robert Culp. A pair of down-and-out P.I.s...

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Having a kid with level 2 Autism means paper plates make food taste better than ceramic, but chocolate milk in a glass is infinitely better than chocolate milk in a carton. I love this lil' goofball.

And they will continue to target these states until someone fights back. Someone with power, authority, and resources. Deeds not words. The citizens of Minnesota shouldn't be fighting this fight alone.

Then. Arrest. Them. Until someone takes action, those are only words. The Declaration of Independence would be meaningless had our forefathers not had the will to enact it. The time for words is over.
